* Use std::mutex instead of std::recursive_mutex
* Remove unnecessary type alias
* Use std::set instead of ripple::hash_map
* Don't reinvent virtual functions
* Load specified [validators_file] relative to config dir
* Add default [validators_file] to rippled-example.cfg
* Remove [validators] and [validation_quorum] from rippled-example.cfg
* Add [validation_quorum] to validators-example.txt
* Allow validators.txt to be a symlink

sections from both rippled.cfg and validators.txt
Quorum is loaded from [validation_quorum] section in validators.txt
only if it is not configured in rippled.cfg
New classes are introduced to represent HTTP messages and their
associated bodies. The parser interface is reworked to use CRTP,
error codes, and trait checks.
New classes:
* basic_headers
Models field/value pairs in a HTTP message.
* message
Models a HTTP message, body behavior defined by template argument.
Parsed message carries metadata generated during parsing.
* parser
Produces parsed messages.
* empty_body, string_body, basic_streambuf_body
Classes used to represent content bodies in various ways.
New functions:
* read, async_read, write, async_write
Read and write HTTP messages on a socket.
New concepts:
* Body: Represents the HTTP Content-Body.
* Field: A HTTP header field.
* FieldSequence: A forward sequence of fields.
* Reader: Parses a Body from a stream of bytes.
* Writer: Serializes a Body to buffers.
basic_parser changes:
* add write methods which throw exceptions instead
* error_code passed via parameter instead of return value
* fold private member calls into existing callbacks
* basic_parser uses CRTP instead of virtual members
* add documentation on Derived requirements for CRTP
impl/http-parser changes:
* joyent renamed to nodejs to reflect upstream changes
New classes:
class async_completion:
Helper class for implementing asynchronous initiation functions.

class basic_streambuf:
Meets the requirements of Streambuf.
class buffered_readstream:
Buffers a ReadStream with a ConstBufferSequence.
class consuming_buffers:
Adapts a BufferSequence which wraps the underlying buffer
sequence and presents fewer bytes, with the retained bytes
occurring at the end of the sequence.
class handler_alloc:
A C++ Allocator the uses asio handler allocation hooks.
class static_streambuf:
An implementation of the Streambuf concept that uses a
fixed size buffer with size determined at compile-time.
class streambuf_readstream:
Buffers a ReadStream with a Streambuf.
New functions:
append_buffers()
Returns a new BufferSequence which efficiently concatenates
two or more buffer sequences together.
prepare_buffers()
Shortens a buffer sequence. The bytes excluded are at the
end of the underlying buffer sequence.
boost::asio::read_until()
A copy of boost::asio::read_until overloads, modified to work
with a beast::asio::basic_streambuf.
Debugging:
buffers_to_string()
Convert a ConstBufferSequence to a human readable string
suitable for diagnostics.
type_check.h:
Metafunctions for checking asio concepts:
AsyncReadStream, AsyncWriteStream
SyncReadStream, SyncWriteStream
ConstBufferSequence, MutableBufferSequence
Streambuf
Handler
Changes:
* All symbols moved up a namespace level.
* streambuf provides all move and copy special members,
behavior of moved from objects is well-defined.
Fixes:
* Fix basic_streambuf iterator category.
Calculate the number of file descriptors that are needed during
execution based on the configuration file, with a hard floor
of 1024, adjusting the limit if possible. Refuse to run if enough
fds are not available.
Additionally, allow administrators to limit the number of incoming
connections a configured port will accept. By default no limit is
imposed.
Trusted master public keys can be listed under either [validators] or
[validator_keys] config sections. All keys listed under [validators] are
added to permanent trusted keys list regardless of key type.
A master public key is moved from permanent key list to manifest cache
when one of its manifests is received. This allows rippled operators to
list all trusted keys under the [validators] config section.
Replace Journal public data members with member function accessors
in order to make Journal lighter weight. The change makes a
Journal cheaper to pass by value.
Also add missing stream checks (e.g., calls to JLOG) to avoid
text processing that ultimately will not be stored in the log.
The RippleAddress class was used to represent a number of fundamentally
different types: account public keys, account secret keys, node public
keys, node secret keys, seeds and generators.
The class is replaced by the following types:
* PublicKey for account and node public keys
* SecretKey for account and node private keys
* Generator for generating secp256k1 accounts
* Seed for account, node and generator seeds
The new code removes the ability to specify domain names
in the [validators] configuration block, and no longer
supports the [validators_site] option.
More details on the supported configurations are available
under doc/rippled-example.cfg.
* A new, unified interface for generating random numbers and
filling buffers supporting any engine that fits the
UniformRandomNumberGenerator concept;
* Automatically seeded replacement for rand using the fast
xorshift+ PRNG engine;
* A CSPRNG engine that can be used with the new framework
when needing to to generate cryptographically secure
randomness.
* Unit test cleanups to work with new engine.
* Make LedgerConsensus object a singleton
* Protect consensus structures with their own locks
* Simplify NetworkOPs interaction with LedgerConsensus
* Log when we build and validate the same ledger
* Expire validations faster based on when we first saw them.
* Never jump to a ledger prior to the latest fully-valid ledger
* Drop validations with signing times too far in the future immediately
Multiple servers behind NAT might share a single public IP, making it
difficult for them to connect to the Ripple network since multiple
incoming connections from the same non-private IP are currently not
allowed.
RippleD now automatically allows between 2 and 5 incoming connections,
from the same public IP based on the total number of peers that it is
configured to accept.
Administrators can manually change the limit by adding an "ip_limit"
key value pair in the [overlay] stanza of the configuration file and
specifying a positive non-zero number. For example:
[overlay]
ip_limit=3
The previous "one connection per IP" strategy can be emulated by
setting "ip_limit" to 1.
The implementation imposes both soft and hard upper limits and will
adjust the value so that a single IP cannot consume all inbound slots.
Subscribe to "peer_status" stream (admin only) permits
reception of "peerStatusChange" notifications.
These can include the event the peer is reporting, the peer's
new status, the peer's currently accepted ledger hash and sequence,
the peer's network time, and the range of ledgers the peer has
available for remote querying.
